too, somo years, when It became very
luxuriant and when we did not relish
It on account of beans, corn and to
matoes being so abundant. Wo usu

where, sometimes between the early
corn. Salsify, too, tho same way.
Of course wo have mint, though
not so large a bed as tho ono at the
Whlto House. By one of my flat
stone seats, at tho end of tho stone
wall walk, mint is growing, almost
surrounding the scat.
wo always plant several kinds of
corn, never forgetting Holding Mob

usually with early Catawba, which

from cold winds, and get a maxi
mum of sunshine. They aro exca

make a hot bed; or, by putting two-by-four
boards across a supporting
cleat, we may havo a cold frame. Last
Septcmbor thero were two plantings
of lettuce made threo weeks apart,
from seeds sown in August in tho
open. They wero planted about four
inches apart. Dy thinning every
other plant as they grew, we had
tender salad, and as much as our
winter family of four could eat.
Wo have never had any marked
success In starting melons or cucum

long restful line of green lawn, and
a pleasing outline to tho shrubbery
border. There wero many prelimi
nary half hours spent trying to seo
tho picture. Finally ono flno October
day, two old sheets became long
white ribbons, and a number or
pointed sticks becamo pins and the
idea camo into being. That white
outline stayed for almost a week, and
several tlmeB a day we would look
at it critically, until we thought we
had found the proper lines for this
particular place. Then began the
digging and screening and bed
making.
Our perennial chrysanthemums are
planted along the stone wall the

and also along the south edge, clear
